Three people were displaced and two dogs died in a midmorning fire Monday that destroyed a mobile home near Bloomingdale.

The large mobile home at 206 Old Highway 204 was in flames when firefighters arrived, said Hugh Futrell, Southside Fire/EMS assistant chief of operations.

The mobile home was in a non-hydrant area. Two tankers responded to the fire, and firefighters were able to pump water from a pond near the structure.

A 12-year-old boy sustained minor injuries from smoke inhalation and his mother sustained radiant heat burns on one of her arms, Futrell said. The mother and child were treated by paramedics and released.

Two dogs that were inside the structure died in the fire, Futrell said.

Futrell said it wasn’t immediately clear how the fire began, but that the boy had seen fire coming out from behind the washer and dryer.

“It was a really big fire,” he said. “It’s a shame. Those folks lost everything they had.”

Red Cross volunteers also responded to the fire to help the two adults and one child who were displaced. All three were provided with food, clothing and medication, said Robin Wingate, executive director of the American Red Cross Southeast Georgia Chapters.

Those displaced are staying with family, but once they find a new place to live, Red Cross will help them with the first month’s rent and deposit, Wingate said.
